At work i have got my laptop with FC7. I tried to install our work's printer (on 192.168.2.50) , here what I did : Through GUI, System-->Administration-->Printing--> New Printer ,,,,but i do not what to choost to assign TCP/IP port to the FC7 PC. What option should I choose : Windows Printer via SAMBA AppSocket/HP JetDirect Internet Printing Protocol LPD/LPR Host or Printer Other Any help how to setup the printer. Do i need to use command line or still I can do through GUI I used to install other network printer on FC4, FC5 If I could not find the proper driver for our canot printer iR C3170. Do I need to install one ? or the generic linux one does the job. Regards Our printer is here in the link below: http://www.digitalofficesystems.co.uk/products/copiers/colour-copiers.html

On win2003 (with all security updates) --when I tried to use disk managemnt , I received this error message, Code: An internal error has occurred. Please restart the disk management snap-in I found here same problem: http://www.ntcompatible.com/Restart_Disk_Management_Snap-in_under_Win2K_sp3_t24599.html

At work ,we have got around 30 servers they were joined domain. From my laptop at work (within our LAN) I can access any one of these servers by using administrator account and password for the Domain Controller (username: dcadmin password : niceforum) . Suppose I have got these servers called : 1- comback (username : back, password :back123), 2- comexch (username : exch , password :exch123) 3- comdbase (username : dbase, password :dbase123) 4- compay (username : pay, password : pay123),, etc Shouldn't I be able to access any one of those server as stand alone ? ( i.e for instance if I want to access this server comeback, I have to type: username: back, password :back123 )

I am looking to install Active directory on Windows 2003 server SP1. Can my clients run unix (Solaris 10) and linux (FC4 and Mandrake 10.1) platform ?

I have got no problem to boot any of these OSs (Windows, FC3, Solaris), after two days from installation , I tried to boot into Solaris, I could not, and I received this error message: (( Boot Solaris rootnoverify (hd0,2) chainloader +1 makeactive boot cannot find solaris partition)). I checked fdisk -l the output was: [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 1276 1339 514080 83 Linux /dev/hda3 * 1340 2614 10237248 af Unknown Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/hda4 2615 4864 18073125 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2615 3506 7164958+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 3507 4462 7679038+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4463 4527 522081 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 4528 4718 1534176 83 Linux /dev/hda9 4719 4864 1172713+ 83 Linux When I installed FC3 and Solaris 10 again from scratch, and I checked fdisk -l again the output was: [root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 1276 1339 514080 83 Linux /dev/hda3 * 1340 2614 10237248 bf Unknown /dev/hda4 2615 4864 18073125 f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 2615 3506 7164958+ b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 3507 4462 7679038+ 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4463 4527 522081 82 Linux swap /dev/hda8 4528 4718 1534176 83 Linux /dev/hda9 4719 4864 1172713+ 83 Linux

I tried these steps with windows XP, I have got 3 PCs (A,B,C) all of them XP, PC B with 2 NIC cards, I assigned 10.0.0.2 to one of these NIC, and 11.0.0.2 to another NIC(this form PC with 2 NIC). PC A ip address:10.0.0.5 PC C ip address: 11.0.0.5 I was able to ping from PC A (10.0.0.5) to 11.0.0.2,i.e I get across the NIC cards, but not to 11.0.0.5!!!! I was able also to ping from PC C (11.0.0.5) to 10.0.0.2,i.e I get across the NIC cards, but not to 10.0.0.5!!!!!. Any clue Thanks 1- WinXP’s RIP disabled by default. 2- Enable IP forwarding, through regedit, initially only on B, it did not work, then on all PCs, same it did not work also. 3- Make the two NIC cards gateways of each other . I have similar scenario with windows 2000 Advanced server it has 2 NIC cards, one for the internet and the IP is assigned to it via DHCP, the IP is 200.229.140.56, And the other NIC card (for my LAN) and its IP address is 192.168.0.1, and it assigns IP addresses to the rest of my LAN (6 PCs) via DHCP through Cisco switch. From any PC on my LAN I can ping the IP address 192.168.0.1 and as well 200.229.140.56,,,,,i.e I can get across the NIC cards. Though I have not touch RIP or IP forwarding, even I have not made the two NIC on my sever as gateways of each other.

FKTOAST I tried your step with windows XP, I have got 3 PCs (A,B,C) all of them XP, PC B with 2 NIC cards, I assinged 10.0.0.2 to one of these NIC, and 11.0.0.2 to another NIC(this form PC with 2 NIC). PC A ip address:10.0.0.5 PC C ip address: 11.0.0.5 I was able to ping from PC A (10.0.0.5) to 11.0.0.2 but not to 11.0.0.5!!!! I was able also to ping from PC C (11.0.0.5) to 10.0.0.2, but not to 10.0.0.5!!!!!. Any clue Thanks
